#"Lewis acids"# are electron pair acceptors...........

Explanation:

And thus #"Lewis acids"# include, #BX_3, OH_2, AlX_3, AlR_3, ""^(-):C-=O^+, ............#.

And #"Lewis bases"# are electron pair DONORS..........., and include, #HO^-, X^-, NR_3, ""^(-)CR_3, H^(-), PR_3, "ethers"#, and #"thioethers"#.

This is certainly not an exhaustive list.
